Remarks & Notes

Union Pacific’s SD45’s always appealed to me, with their flared radiators and two-digit numbers in a fleet that numbered in the thousands. Unfortunately, they eluded me in my few visits to the UP before their retirement. The next best thing was running into a GP40X with the same unique characteristics in Cheyenne prior to a steam excursion over Sherman Hill.
